Airfix 1/24 Spitfire 1A

[AnonymousDFB1]

Hi all,

Not one I built, but one of my late father's models. He built this when I was about 10 years old. Its been residing in my attic for about 25 years. There is still quite a collection in the attic.

I just hope I can get to his standard. He even put an electric motor in th engine to spin the prop! This Spit was hand painted and weathered without the specialist paints that exists nowadays. In fact airbrushes where rare and considered 'cheating' by my dad.

That's fantastic Mish, when I was 10 they were all still mainly unpainted with glue covered (fingerprinted) cockpit canopies. He was very talented the spit looks great.

All the best
